My progress in February has been unimpressive due to a bridge tournament followed by a short illness, and another tournament is coming next week. Nevertheless, I am two miles from the end of the first Ohio segment, which takes us past Veto Lake (the nice picture here), Vincent, Layman, and on to Chesterhill.
Today, I logged more than 15,000 steps, most of them with Joel, for my best day this month. I have walked over 1.4 million steps and over 630 miles since I started on the Atlantic Coast.
Vincent, Ohio is a census-designated place, population 273. The tiny places I walk through are a sort of running joke on this blog, but I suppose that if you are walking across the United States, going through a place like Vincent makes for a nicer hike than, say, walking through Cleveland.
Layman, Ohio is an unincorporated community, which appears to mean that it is a spot on the map, not necessarily a collection of buildings. The way it looks on Google Maps, you could walk through Layman and literally not realize that you had visited a place with a name. The Internet does not list any population.
I did not find any good pictures of Layman, so this picture is baobab trees in Madagascar.
Wikipedia calls Chesterhill a village of 276 people, so one small family bigger than Vincent. The American Discovery Trail website refers to Chesterhill as both " Chesterhill" and "Chester Hill", but Chesterhill is correct.
